Salome is a woman disciple of Jesus identified by name only in the Gospel of Mark at Mark 15:40 and Mark 16:1 .
Salome was a common Aramaic name at the time, and is used today.[1] In modesty, Mark did not explain who Salome was because she was almost certainly Mark's mother, who as a follower of Jesus enabled her child Mark to be an eyewitness to Jesus's ministry. Mark was Aramaic, as he used far more statements of Jesus in Aramaic than another Gospel.
Matthew apparently did not know who Salone was, as he copied from the Gospel of Mark and yet omitted two references to her by Mark at Mark 15:40 and Mark 16:1 . In particular, Matthew omitted the presence of Salome or any third woman from the visit to the tomb of Jesus, described by Matthew 28:1 (only two women) and Mark 16:1 .
The group of women who financially supported the disciples of Jesus are generally referenced in Luke 8:3.[2]
